About Me

Wednesday, July 27, 2011

Last autumn I had the opportunity to contribute to the Kids' Crafternoon series of books, a collaboration between Kathreen Ricketson of Whip Up and and the Australian publisher Hardie Grant. The Papercraft volume, out this month, includes some classic pinwheels and rolled flowers I made. Below are photos I took of them just before I shipped them Down Under to be styled for the book:I've also included a few pages scanned from the finished book in this post — I love how kid-friendly the instructions are with their practical tips and step-by-step illustrations. Now for the best part: a giveaway! Hardie Grant has provided me with a copy of the book to send to one lucky reader. Please leave a comment on this post to enter (everyone is eligible, just be sure I have a way to contact you), and I'll announce the winner right here next week.
Update: The lucky winner is Comment 23 — Jenni. Congratulations! Comments are now closed.

I'm a grandmother for the first time and would love to show my little grandson, Keiren, how to create beautiful things. He's 18 months old and loves the paper boat mobile I made for his room recently. I would love to see what other crafts we could do together.

My daughter will LOVE making those flowers, so bright and fun. If the other projects in the book are as great as your contribution we'd love to get crafty. email: jilleboucher@gmail.com Thanks for the great giveaway and congrats on being part of such a great book!

This is adorable! I found your blog through other wonderful blogs and I can't stop watching how much beautiful things you post about. I would love the book but if I can't have it it doesn't matter because your blog is still gorgeous. :)

I recently found your blog and have to say you create some truly gorgeous art. I am loving your photography and especially your craft ideas. I also went to UCLA and so enjoyed seeing your stylings there. I do a lot of crafting with my two kids and would love to have this book. Let us know when and where to buy it also. Thanks for the chance. nlhardacre@aol.com

I just wanted you to know I’m thrilled about your inclusion in the book….anything that you put your hands to is just magic…pure magic. Thank you for the chance to win and I hope you continue with so much success with all your work.

Inspiration is just what I need. In the north of Canada {where I live with my fiance} is a place that is starving for things kids can get involved with. I have little Inuit girls that come to my house every day begging for attention and a friend. This book good do the trick on a cold day.

This looks so sweet! My girls and I are total crafties! All summer long we spend time coloring, painting, making jewelry etc! This would be the perfect little book for us!Thanks for the giveaway,GretchenP.S. I miss your Victoria mag. articles:(. I was always so excited to get the next issue in the mail each month and try the project!The valentine cameos were my favorite!

Thanks so much for this entry to your blog. My daughters love paper crafts and I will be showing them your blog as soon as they arrive home from school today. I'm sure you've provided great inspiration for them, and even if we don't win a copy we will try and see if our local library has it to borrow. Thanks again!
